VI LL.11WS EISE AND FALL- The cities of Oregon and Washing ton Teiritoiy liave for the past month l;en much excited over certain rail way elections, in which were involved the success or failure of a great finan cier. The issue was whether Henry Villard would resume his control of the railroad interests of the northwest, from which a Wall-street combination fiii-ced him a few years ago. The re si.'t is liis triumph over the enemies who liave aimed at bis ruin, lhe B-uondary consequence will bo the development of the country touched ly the Northern Pacific and its feeding linos. This means prosperity for Portland and Tncoma and the com. riiorcial centres of the northwest goner ,a:Iy. It is interesting to trace the rise and i 11 and rise again of Henry Villard lie is of Bavarian extraction and liirth, and came to the United States in 1853, a boy of 18 in search of a fortune. For nearly twenty years he followed the vocation of a newspaper correspondent It was in 1870 that .his thoughts and efforts .first drifted into railroad speculation. In 1S73 he vnt to Germany for his health, and. tii jre succeeded in influencing German Capitalists to invest in American se c.irities. Returning a year later he began h'13 labors for th . con- .tiiifnfal railway. This took him ac tively into Wail street, whore he soon acquired a reputation for far-reaching deals in bonds and stock. He builded his gruat railway pr ject at both ends and fiually succeeded in completing the Northern Pacific railway in 1883. His success seemed then assured, but the "bears"of the New York stock market, under the direction of the o wners of the Central Pacific, suddenly organized an attack upon the securities of his allied companies and accom plished his financial overthrow. Villard was obliged to sacrifice his vast estate and resign from the preidsicy of the Jfonhern Pacific. He went to Europe a ruined man, but with a personality and will set about the repair of his shattered fortunes. Hh again organized his original Gprman backers, and in 188G returned to New York with means at bis command. The last three years lie has sxent in fihtinr his wav to h 1 o j position he was forced to vacate a few years before. This feat f financial genius he has just performed. By the elections of late Villard again assumed control of the Northern Pacific rail way. BENEFIT OF EX AGO ERA 7TO.V. y As the authenticated details of the recent disasters in Johnstown and "4 .ill s i . oeauie oeconie sutea out ot tne mass ot rumors, it is found that the loss of life and property in both places was "considerably overstated. The renorts of atrocities are also found to he in the inain baseless. Only one life was lost in the Seattle fire; only one robber Vis lynched at Johnstovn for despoil ing the dead. These exaggerated reports, though happily baseless, . served an excellent purpose, says an exchange. They as sisted the truth in awakening that en thusiasm which rushed from heart to -. . -ii ( pocaei ana city ro village all over tne country. The truth concerning the losses by fire and flood was terrible ' but that its recital, unattended with the fictions, would have drawn the response which has been made may ' frell be doubted. There are some cold pietists who decry fiction 'and would banish, from literature all that lives in the imagina tion only. Let such consider' the prfect of- these overestimates of the horrors of the two disasters and admit for once that fiction, bas its uses in the 1 ii i r i accompiisnuit-iii ui guuu. to announce that he is now prepared to do all kinds of house and sign pa,inj - ing, and his work is guaranteed to be Satisfactory. -. - ni-pd.

Wihnot and wife, of Dunlap, Iow a, are visiting with Rev. A. llogers and fam ily in this city. Harry Roggere, formerly of Corvallis, but now a type-slingnr on the Salem Statesman, was here over Suuday last. A Congregational church has been or ganized at Eugene by Rev. P. S. Knight, with a membership of thirty-seven per sons. There is a barber in Albany who claims lie shaved 10G persons in one day. Now at 25 cents a shave, that would bring a neat little whole week's work for some persons. The drill of the military company of the college on the campus on Tuesday cvueing last was very nice. Gov. Pcnnoyer re viewed them and the usual military ma nteuvres were performed. The filst man hnng in Oregan was a man named Kendall, in Marion county, for killing a limiting companion, in IS." 2. It was afterward discovered that Kendall was innocent. Astoria Transcript. T. C. Case is now prepared to give you a bath if) on desire oue.

Antouelle and Loring B. Doe, of San Francisco. The contract calls for the work to commence at a point rive miles west of the tunnel in the Cascades and extend on the twenty miles east including the tunnel, and which will complete the road nearly to the summit of that range of mountains, making &rxty miles of com pleted road east of Albany, or about seventy-two from Corvallis. There is said to be already four miles of road completed at the summit by the company. It is said that Messrs Autoaelle & Doe are ex peri enced railroad contractors, and will begin work at once with a force of 1,000 or more men. They have just finished a large con tract ou the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, t There are rails enough piled up' in Albany to lay niue miles of road, and about enough laying in San Francisno for twenty oue miles. A purchase is said to have just been completed by the company of rails enough to lay 400 miles, which if true will reach through to Boise City. Other con tracts will probably be let aud by fall' the whistle of the O. P.'a iron horse will be heard in eastern Oregon. Administrator Appointed. Yesterday's Oregouian says: "W. V.

Go Way Cjiil'. Here is a yarn about the incorrigible small boy, that was related to the editor yesterday. An Albany woman was telling a Corvallis woman who was visiting iu this city of the rapidity with which rents were shooting skyward in Albany. The Corvallis woman, not to be out done, after listening a while began to tell of the Corvallis rent. 1 hen her small son interrupted her, just as she had tiuished telling whatidivpaid per month in Corvallis, by remarking: W hy, that wasn t for a month, mammn; that w8 for a day." Both the women laughed at the boy's idea, but the little fellow krpt right on ami paralyzed his mother by adding: It must have been for a day, any way, because the man used to come every day for the rent." Report snys the C.rvailis woman hurridly moved to indefinitely postpone the whole subject matter of rents, Democrat. Printers, Attention.

This is the time of year that great damage is done to fruit trees aud especially cherries, by "slugs," and the farmers may not all be aware ot it. Those who have trees whose leaves are turning brown should make examination aud where ever the slus are found, some black lime or dry dust should be sprinkled, on freely; this will stick to the slime and prevent the pest from working. - In the early morning is the best time to rind them aud to do the sprinkling.
